Upcoming Events

  • March 16, Villanova, 6 PM, free - there's a guy telling crazy stories about space exploration. From the original email:

In the last fifty years the human race has begun the exploration of the cosmos. Sometimes, the events have been newsworthy and famous, such as Yuri Gagarin's first flight and the Apollo 11 landing on the moon. Other times, the adventures of men and women in space have been been ignored, hidden, or just plain forgotten. Did you know, for example, that a Russian cosmonaut once did a three hour spacewalk with a spacesuit held together by a home made repair kit? Or that the first female tourist in space actually flew more than nineteen years ago? Colonizing the planets shall be the most challenging task the human race will ever undertake. In telling some of these obscure space tales, Mr. Zimmerman will explain why these tales are important for future space explorers, and how they illustrate the best in human nature.

We will be leaving Hicks NO LATER than 5:30. There is very limited seating (we're in the Engin truck) and a lot of new interest in coming, so if you don't show up on time, someone else will take your place.

  • April 14, Philadelphia University, 6 PM, free - the canceled spacesuit design talk.

I'm (Andy) gonna poke around and see if there are any folks doing interesting research who would be willing to come give a talk some evening. Let me know if you have recommendations.
